Laura Baring-Gould and Michael Dowling collaborated to create an ambitious, multi-part work that examined and celebrated the power of five of Boston's most important historic sites and the roles each played In the founding and growth of the United states. Drawing on the rich histories of the African Meeting House, Old South Meeting House, Paul Revere House, and Copp's Hill Burying Ground as significant places of assembly and shelter, the artists created house-.shaped "vessels" of copper, silver, slate, and alabaster for each site. These sculptures formed a trail leading to a water-borne copper meetinghouse docked at the Charlestown Navy Y81d that was designed and constructed by the artists. The house sat atop a moat built into the barge on which the house was placed. The barge was loaned to the project by the United States Navy / Department of Defense.
